Allen-Bradley connector
Connect FairCom Edge to Allen-Bradley devices using EtherNet/IP and PCCC over DF1 protocols
The FairCom Allen-Bradley ("ab") connector service allows reading and writing data tags to and from the most common Allen-Bradley PLCs, such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix, using a variety of Allen-Bradley supported field bus communication protocols. The time between data collection events can be modified. For example, to collect data twice every second, set "dataCollectionIntervalMilliseconds" to 5000.
Note
A tag is a piece of named data with an associated value. For example, the tag temperature 70 includes both the named data temperature and the value 70. In JSON, a tag is a JSON property, such as "temperature": 70. In a SQL table, a tag is a data field, such as a field named temperature with a value of 70.
This connector currently supports the EtherNet/IP and PCCC over DF1 protocols. The EtherNet/IP protocol runs over TCP/IP networks. The PCCC command protocol runs over the DF1 serial protocol.
